When it comes to self worth, one should definitely not base their esteem on the opinions of others. You don’t want your self esteem to be dependent on someone else’s views. Sometimes, women in particular may base their self worth on positive feedback from others. If people tell them they are good, that becomes the basis for their self worth. However, your self worth should definitely not be based on others’ opinions.
Understanding Self Worth
Self esteem, which is the recognition of your own worth and treating yourself with respect, is important. But what should you base your self esteem on? Self esteem involves recognizing your own worth and treating yourself with respect.
Avoid Basing Self Worth on Other’s Opinions
Many people go through what I call a “Cinderella phase,” where they feel that no one respects the work they do for family members or others. The point is, you don’t need others to value your work. You should take charge and treat yourself well if you do chores or other work. You should never be co-dependent.
Qualities to Value in Yourself
You might esteem qualities such as honesty, integrity, achievements, resilience and strength in the face of adversity, learning new skills, or overcoming personal challenges.
The Role of Exercise in Self Esteem
Many studies have shown a correlation between exercise and higher self esteem, as well as improved mental health. Exercise, in my opinion, is crucial for one’s well being. Exercising should be one of the things you value for yourself.
Differentiating Between Circumstances and Self Worth
Finally, learning to differentiate between your circumstances and who you are is key to self-worth. “Recognizing inner worth and loving one’s imperfect self provides the secure foundation for growth,” says Schiraldi. “With that security, one is free to grow with enjoyment, not fear of failure,because failure doesn’t change core worth.”
